Does anyone have suggestions for storage containers for glaze chemicals? I have been looking at
plastic bins but there are so many different ones to pick from. I would like them to stack if possible,
or have easy access from the sides (does this exist?). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There are several containers produced by different plastic companies for
Storage Of Christmas Wrap. These are narrow, tall, containers with a tight
fitting lid. I have found them to be great containers -- most will hold a 50
LB bag of chemicals without any trouble..... AND NOW AFTER Christmas -- they
are usually cheap... a few bucks...

Hi, Daryl,
Take a look at on-line professional kitchen storage. They have large
bins some of which are stackable. Also check out large dog
food/animal food containers.
Cheers,
Jeanette

Yes, they are made to stack. I don't know how high you could have them with
full bags of ingredients, but I have them stacked three high, which is the
most I'd want to stack them in order to be able to scoop out ingredients.

Ya know, I really don't know, but they look like they do since they
are tapered at the bottom. Might be a good idea to contact them to
make sure, but they really look like they'd do the job.

Jeanette

Daryl,
We have a pretty complete glaze kitchen and use 10g Rubbermaid containers.
The lids fit pretty tight to keep out moisture and some raw materials can
have a full bag emptied into them (some materials are lighter and won't
fit the entire volume).
We use 5gal buckets and even smaller ones for those raw materials that we
stock in smaller quantities (oxides, etc.). We can usually scrounge these
for free... we dumpster dive.
We keep these on heavy duty rolling (casters and board) dollies and stack
em three high. We can roll these over to the table with the scale.
Full buckets are heavy... so the idea of side flaps is cool (as long as
it's tight and keeps moisture out).
These 10g Rubbermaids are also used as glaze buckets in our studio.
Stauffer Linda on wed 9 jan 08
I use Deli Cat containers. They have handles on them, a screw on lid
big enough for a scoop, and fit nicely on the shelf with a spot for
labeling. I store larger amounts of things like silica, whiting,
kaolin in large garbage cans in my shed and bring smaller amounts into
the studio in these containers. For my oxides I use some old glass
chemistry jars with glass stoppers. My glazes I keep in 5 gallon
buckets with the screw on lids. You can buy these lids, they snap on
the buckets . Half of the lid remains on the bucket and the top screws
off. They have an airtight seal. Much easier than prying off the lids
that come with the buckets.

The local community swimming pool gets its pool chemicals in 10g
containers. At the end of the season I got a huge stack of them. They
are extra heavy with screw down tops. Ideal for glazes. Check you local
pools and pool supply places.

I bought some stackable dog food containers at Walmarts about 8 or so years
ago. They work good, take up less space, chemicals kept very well in them
they have a tight seal. For oxides and smaller amounts I use see thru small
plastic containers got those at Staples inexpensive ones stackable and seal
tight-Best Tom

Thank you for all the suggestions for chemical containers. These look
great with the side openings and stackable. The price is so reasonable as
well.
